OGILVIE, MN (August 17) - The High Roller Sprint car series stopped by Ogilvie Raceway on Saturday night, with both the Winged and Non-Winged cars in attendance.

The WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, Modifieds, Mod Fours and Hornets were also part of the program, with winners in sanctioned action including Jason VandeKamp, Bobie Arnes, Tyler Larson and Jack Rivord.

The WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds were led to green by Ariel Mueller and Ben Lewis. VandeKamp made his way to the lead before lap one was scored as Lewis and Ashton Schulte followed his path in the top three. Schulte made his way to second and kept close to VandeKamp as the yellow waved.

After a couple cautions, VandeKamp brought the drivers back to green while Andy Jones and Cole Boston claimed second and third. Jones and Boston swapped for second, but didn’t have anything for VandeKamp, as he drove to victory lane. Boston finished in second with Jones, Schulte and Ashley Boyum rounding out the top five.

A small crew of WISSOTA Hornets were on hand, and nearly all five drivers on the track battled for first when the green waved; Bobie Arnes edged out into the lead. Anthony Jenson and Jenna Hagemann remained glued to Arnes, while Randy Jacoboski and Emily Acciari settled in fourth and fifth.

The race was half over when Hagemann raced to Arnes’ door, but Arnes sped away and didn’t look back. Arnes took the win ahead of Hagemann, Jenson, Jacoboski and Acciari in the top five.

Jack Rivord claimed the immediate lead in the WISSOTA Modified feature. Eric Lamm took second and looked ahead to Rivord, who was already several seconds ahead of the field.

Rivord’s car was dialed in as he moved through the back of the field, lapping up to 10th. The race was completed in a matter of minutes, and Rivord claimed the win. Lamm, J.T. Johnson, Brennan Gave and Travis Schulte completed the top five.

Tyler Larson, Robert Holtquist and Dustin Holtquist battled nearly three-wide for the lead when the WISSOTA Mod Fours took the green. Larson edged out the lead with Dustin Holtquist and Robert Holtquist in tow. Blake Hawker caught and passed Robert Holtquist for third. The remaining laps passed by and Larson took the win in dominating fashion while Dustin Holtquist, Hawker, Maeghan Milz and Ashton Schulte grabbed top five spots at the checkered flag.

A solid field of High Roller Non-Winged Sprints took the clay and sped away as the green waved. Jeff Pellersels claimed the early lead with Jack Berger in second. Berger then got loose in the turn, which allowed Jake Kouba to speed by. Mark Chevalier made his way to second and then took over the top spot, but Kouba and Pellersels kept close.

The three racers swapped for the top spot a few times, until Kouba settled into the position. Kouba separated from the competition and prepared to lap slower drivers with under 10 laps to go. Kouba had no issues during the remaining laps and took the checkered flag ahead of Chevalier, Chris Lewis, Berger and Pellersels in the top five.

The High Roller Winged Sprints were next on the agenda with Kevin Bradwell and John Vaillancourt on row one. Vaillancourt and Jamey Ogston pulled away and battled for the top spot until Vaillancourt slowed, and the yellow soon flew.

Ogston brought the drivers back to green after the field was set and Owen Carlson moved into second. Carlson quickly made the pass for first as the top two separated from Chase Viebrock in third.

With the race half over and lapped traffic coming into play, the yellow waved again. Carlson, Ogston and Viebrock remained the top three drivers as the green flew. Carlson weaved his way through and took the win. Ogston, Viebrock, Todd Hansen and Bradwell were top-five finishers.

Wagamon’s Ogilvie Raceway will host two events next week with the Annual Truck and Tractor Pull on Friday, and our 2024 season championship night on Saturday. Plan to spend your weekend with us in Ogilvie with events starting at 7:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., respectively.
